    I winter sowed these and they turned out beautiful! I haven’t gotten any purples or whites but the reds and pinks are gorgeous!

    While I these all germinated and bloomed nicely, I had the same experience with them only being white and white was the only color in the mix I didn’t want

    Customer photo review of Scabiosa Seeds - Tall Double Mix

    The plants are super healthy, but I only got white flowers and this was supposed to be a mix. I planted 15 plants, so I think their mix was mislabeled. The bumble bees are loving the flowers though.

    None of my seeds germinated

    Store owner replied: Hello Vero. Thank you again for sharing your experience.

We’re glad we were able to connect with you directly and provide a resolution. We truly appreciate the opportunity to make things right and remain committed to supporting you toward a successful growing season!

    As others mentioned, I also only had white flowers last season. And they took a long time to bloom, so that was a bit disappointing. I have a lot of seed left (I purchased the large 1 oz bag!) and would like to try to plant scabiosa again, but it seems this seed mix only grows white flowers. Eden brothers, can you resend me a true mix?

    Grew good and are very healthy and blooming very nice and heartily, but i had ordered a mixed color variety and all of them are white.

    Began these indoors to get a head start on growing. Nothing germinated, hopeful the second try outdoors goes better but am not hopeful.
